“The Venice Italian Restaurant is a must visit. The menu is loaded with amazing options and the Venice team is attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the Pappardelle con Cinghiale and tiramisu, while other members of our party loved the Bolognese and Lasagne. Reservations are easy through the online portal. Enjoy!“

“I went in expecting a nice enough place, and when I left, I wished this restaurant was closer to my house! First off, when I walked in, the atmosphere was fantastic. It had a mixture of a rustic and modern feel, perfectly blended. The service was off the charts amazing, and the menu has enough options you’ll probably be distraught trying to choose which meal to eat! We had a few apps…..great! Then the food came……GREAT! We had just come back from Italy not too long ago, and this place captures the food and ambiance perfectly. I cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Growing up whenever we made trips back to visit our family in a small town in Illinois, we would always do a low key dinner with all the aunts, uncles and cousins from an restaurant that did spaghetti by the bucket. It was a great way to feed the huge group and I have great memories from that. I was very excited to see that experience coming here to Denver and it did not disappoint. My wife couldn't say enough about how nice the owner was when we picked up our order, the kids love spaghetti and meatballs, and who doesn't like a loaf of buttery garlic bread?! This is definitely going to be on our repeat list, especially when we have our kids friends and families over for a bigger meals, simple, delicious and very easy!“

“Great locally owned pizza place that has charm for days. Big Bill’s looks like what you want a hidden gem, hole in the wall pizza place to look like - lots of old dark wood, booths for seating (with lots of people dining in), has a great mural on the wall in memory of 9/11, you can see people making your food and the staff is really friendly.Our pizza had a great flavor. It was well made and the ingredients tasted fresh. Nothing about it (or the business itself) is exceptionally fancy, but everything was solidly good.Families and foodies alike, if you’re looking for fresh ingredients without the fuss, this is your stop. And be sure to try their homemade meatballs and cheesecake - both are delish.Vegetarian options: Vegetables tasted freshParking: It’s in a strip mall with plenty of parking in the lot.Kid-friendliness: I brought our toddler in and she immediately asked if we could eat in. It has such an inviting and warm atmosphere. I saw a lot of families with children dining in. We’ll definitely be back and eat there.“

“Angelo’s is my husband and my favorite restaurant. We always choose Angelo’s for our special occasions. The atmosphere, the service and the food are incredible consistent, the managers are amazing and the food is incredible! It’s a solid 40th min drive for us, but absolutely worth it every single time. Justin, the manager and Erik, our server tonight were phenomenal. Every time we leave, we rave about how wonderful our experience was. We love Angelo’s!“

“We had the Tortallini Alla Fini & the braised short rib ravioli, both were delicious & had plenty of left overs for lunch the next day! As was the garlic bread, but we had to order that separately. They had a lovely Rosé. The calamari was disappointing, a bit rubbery. (you might say, well ?‍♀️ Colorado for calamari? but we have had much better locally.) We sat on the patio, which has been extended into the road, so there is no in front parking. There was construction on the side of the building, so we didn't wonder around. Maybe next time, worth a second visit :)Parking: There is a parking garage next door, can't say for sure if it is free or paid. Google shows there is parking in front of the resturaunt, there is not. Those spots have been turned into additional pation seating.“

“Absolutely a winner of the first plate club. We had been meaning to try for a while now and finally got the chance. Upon entering, it was a little dark, but honestly I don't mind that. It creates an atmosphere of seclusion at your individual table.The menu is short but robust. Honestly, this kind of quick meal and drink place, but with table service is what I love. Give me a cheese board, but then take it real seriously...YES. We all love lunchables still right? This takes it to a whole new level. We also got the meatballs which were a nice compliment to the "Table Board." And of course the wine list rounds everything out.Then you have the service. Let me tell you, Elise is the kind of server that makes going out so enjoyable. Jovial, attentive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. An all around great human being.The cherry on the top was honestly that the pricing was reasonable. Everything's more expensive and we are not complaining about any of that. But comparatively for the type of food we're getting, we felt like this was a very reasonable price and exactly what we were looking to pay.My partner and I both agree that we need to come back and start eating our way through the menu. We honestly can't wait :-).“

“Lubo's is the neighborhood go-to for non-chain pizza & Italian food. The pizza is New York thin or Sicilian thick. The sauce is tasty, and the pizzas are cooked to perfection. The garlic knots are delicious, and the fried mozzarella sticks are yummy. The vibe is very laid back and informal, so there is no need to dress up. We will be back to try the pastas next time.“

“Highly recommended quaint family-owned Italian restaurant serving delicious pizza and pasta made from fresh, high quality ingredients. 5 stars :)Walking into Romano’s, which has been serving the Littleton area since 1967, gives you the feeling of entering an Italian grandma’s home rather than a business. As soon as you arrive, you know there’s delicious food made with love in your future.Before ordering we asked what they make in-house; they said: dough, sauce, meatballs and some noodles. We, of course, tried all of those things.Our pizza was fresher than the mountain air and ohhh so cheesy. Their pizza has a very slight sweetness to it (the opposite being the more acidic and salty/savory flavor). A sweeter pizza is hard to come by, so this was a great find for us!We also got the spaghetti and meatball with homemade noodles (they have non-homemade noodles as an option also). The noodles were thick and fresh, but were a little soggy. The seasonings for the sauce and meatball weren’t my favorite, but I forgave it because it tasted so freshly homemade.Well definitely be back :)Vegetarian options: Their cheese is delicious, so you could stop at a cheese pizza and have a delicious vegetarian optionParking: There is on street parallel parking in front of the building, however, it’s on a busy street. If you’re not up for that challenge, there’s a marked lot down the street about a half a block.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly at atmosphere and our daughter absolutely loves the homemade spaghetti and meatball“

“So so good! The pasta is ok, but the pizza!The pizza here is the closest thing to a true Italian pizza crust I’ve found so far in the States. The Digirolomo is where it’s at: pepperoni, peperoncini, Gorgonzola, mozzarella.Oh man…The people take the cake, though. Everyone we have ever interacted with has been so amazing. They consistently go above and beyond.Seriously. If you haven’t gone to check them out yet, here’s your sign. You won’t be sorry!Kid-friendliness: $2 kids meals all day every day“

“Random Tuesday evening got a table right away. Bacon Blues salad was great! Plenty of bacon. Wings with their House smoke and spice sauce, we should have got the 10 count. The sauce is amazing! 4H pizza you won’t be disappointed. If Brecklynd is your server you are in luck! Also should add, my wife is gluten free and their crust is amazing!Vegetarian options: Veggie pizza is amazing and I’m not even vegetarianDietary restrictions: Great gluten free crust!“

“This is the best place I have eaten in Aurora hands down. The staff was amazing very attentive and kind. Both of the wines we got were phenomenal, we got the calamari for our appetizer and it was perfectly crunchy on the outside, all of the meals had such a good mix of flavors, and the deserts were to die for. I will definitely be returning!“

“I’ve tried other pizza joints, and they’re good, sometimes. Colonna’s is always good. The same core crew of guys have been there a while. That says something. They’re good at their job and they care. I’m done ordering from other places.“

“Second time visiting and just like the last time everything was delicious!! Every appetizer every side and every main course was highly rated by my family and friends (party of 10). Can’t wait until my next visit. Staff also let us have a mini baby shower and took photos for us as well.“

“We came to Farro on a date night at the recommendation of a friend. Since those first few visits with just the two of us, we have been coming here for dinner with our kids 4-5 times a month for at least six months. Why? Because we are exhausted, and when we come here for dinner, we are treated like royalty. The service is impeccable and the food is consistently delicious. We have come to know the servers and look forward to seeing them each week. We can't recommend this restaurant enough. Beth, Mark, Adam, Kimberly, Katani, Gage, Bella - they are all so friendly and excellent at what they do. You won't be disappointed.“

“Absolute best meatballs in Denver that I have found so far!!! I mean with a name like Meatballs you would expect they do it right, boy do they. Delicious! Can't wait to go back.I had the beef meatballs with marinara sauce and the mac and cheese. That's what's in the photo. I meant to take a photo before I bit into it, but it was so good and I was so hungry what can I say. ?2nd trip was just as good!!!Parking: Easy in and out of parking lot and fast access to I-25. I like the convenience.“

“Googled best restaurants in Castle Rock and this one came up. We had fried mushrooms and garlic bread for an appetizer and they were delicious. My brother and sister-in-law had the chicken marsala and they said it was absolutely delicious too. I had the penne pasta vodka with meatballs and talk about a huge serving! I was able to take enough home for two more meals. Oh, and it was fabulous! We were totally impressed with the food and the service! They got a calzone to go to and it was huge! Highly recommend and we will be back!Parking: It was a bit hard to find as there was not a large sign up high, only the sign on the door.“

“Service and food were great and the atmosphere fits the menu perfectly. Location is off the beaten path. We were traveling from GJ and found this on Trip Advisor and are glad we did! Family feel. Great taste. Great service. Son loved chicken parm sandwich and fries. I loved the special ground beef spaghetti with a little spice but so flavorful. I can’t wait to share this place with my other family members. Five stars!“

“the Staff! 3 of us ladies came in for lunch today, 7/13, after not seeing one another for 20 some years. Emily was our waitress and was so sweet AND patient! April! Amazing and funny! Thank you ALL for tolerating us and being such great Hosts! we will be back!“

“In our quest to find excellent pizza, we came across Portofino's in Parker. New York style crust and made from scratch, the margherita pizza and Greek salad meet with additional from both of us. But we were also enchanted by the seasonal cocktail, the Blackberry Sidecar. It was refreshing and had the perfect blend of blackberry sweetness and bourbon. The cannoli we had for dessert was fantastic. We were delighted to find a full menu of Italian entrees, and really can't wait to go back. Big plus: Coke products! Wine list and full bar. Outdoor seating, too.“

“Nonna's is solid! We have actually been wanting to come here for years. Denver doesn't have the best Italian, especially on the SE side of Denver. Nonna's was a refreshing change to mediocre Italian. It exceeded our expectations with the food, service, and atmosphere! Since food is what we value the most, here's what we found. The calamari and stuffed mushrooms were spot on. Perfectly fried calamari and delicious stuffed mushrooms. 5/5. The bread that comes out was toasted versus soft. Since it came out with oil and vinegar, our preference would be softer bread to soak up the mixture. The bread was the only thing we didn't love. 3/5. We ordered the lasagna and the prosciutto-wrapped chicken with linguine. The chicken was very good, but the linguine stole the show. 4.5/5. I would give the lasagna a 6/5 if I could! Simply a must have! Everything about it was perfect! Overall, Nonna's is the best Italian in Denver. It was a great experience. We'll definitely be back! 5/5!“

“One of my favorite pizza spots in town and my friend’s favorite when he comes to visit (Italian restaurant owner from GA). They use tipo 00 flour which doesn’t bother a lot of people with gluten issues (they have a gluten free pizza too) and they have buffalo mozzarella as an option too (which also doesn’t bother a lot of people with dairy issues). Great pizza overall regardless what issues or not you have ?.“

“We love the food and the service. We eat here a lot. A few times, something has been missing from our to-go order and they go above and beyond to fix the mistake. Chris, the manager, is awesome has been wonderful to us. Definitely recommend for some yummy food!“

“The food was incredible and the service was excellent and fast! The specials get you garlic knots, salad and soup. Well worth the price!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu had a good selection. We got the pizza and it was huge, filled up our little one“

“When I walked into Mici, I was immediately greeted with this lovely girl at the front! She politely asked me how my day was and took my order. She truly made my dine in experience amazing and made Mici my new favorite Italian place! I believe her name is Taylor. Taylor, if you are reading this, you rock!! 10/10 will be returning.“

“This place exceeded our expectations. We ordered pick up right before close. The staff were waiting for me when I got there, & I was greeted with nothing but kindness & gratitude. It feels like they genuinely care about the business & really try to do right by their customers. Then, the food -- so reasonably priced, delicious, all carefully homemade with high quality ingredients, & more than I could eat! No kidding. First time in a while we felt like we genuinely got our money's worth from a restaurant.Give these guys your business, call well in advance before close, & tip generously. They deserve it.?“

“Fun engaging atmosphere for pizza or the full menu of Scileppi'sMy boyfriend and I love to sit at the bar and share a bottle wine. I love to order their pizza by the slice; the sauce and crust are perfect.He enjoys their fettuccine, which may be the perfect balance of cream, butter and cheeseMegan is wonderful, engaging and attentive.My teen children and I also love to grab a table here and enjoy them full menu.Eggplant fries, Parmesan fries and garlic knots are a must.“

“It’s an Olive Garden of course it’s amazing. But the staff were the best part. We came pretty late but it wasn’t like about to close it was 9 and they closed at 10 but this place was empty. There were only like 7 more people sitting down and eating and most of them were finished. The staff weren’t like “ughhhh (tired noises) what do you wantt ughhhh” they were actually talking KIM! Kim wasn’t a good experience she was yelling on the floor and going crazy and then she took off her pants and threw them at some guy then she smashed plates and stuff but that’s off topic. The food, I don’t have to explain of course it’s good. Atmosphere was like any other Olive Garden an Italian theme. But I’m telling you if you want good service come here. If you want to experience Kim also come here but mostly the serviceKid-friendliness: They were super kind to my youngest brother“

“Fantastic food, place and people. Rufus, Peter and Andres are always great!One thing though- Bring back the Spicy Spaghetti to the menu!! It's such a great dish, have it with peppers, onions, Italian sausage and a spicy tomato sauce....it hits the spot like nothing else does!Kid-friendliness: Great family friendly place.“

“I recently visited the Old Fashioned Italian Deli and had a delightful experience. The meatball sub was a true standout, boasting flavorful, perfectly seasoned meatballs complemented by a rich marinara sauce. The combination of fresh, crusty bread and melted cheese added to the overall satisfaction. The ambiance of the restaurant, coupled with friendly service, made it a memorable Italian dining experience.“

“I was blown away with the energy in this cute eatery! I walked in and was greeted with a smile and great conversation about what to eat! I have a gluten allergy and a sweet girl named Reagan was helping me decide what options were the best for my health restrictions! I ordered the margarita pizza and some cannolis for dessert! A beautiful and kind girl named Jada brought it out to me and made sure I had everything I needed! Both these girls I asked for their names because they really made my day!! I will definitely be coming back here!“

“I love this quant place. The location is convenient and near places one may run errands. depending on the day, parking may be a bear, but I find it worth the hassle. It is always clean, and I love that there is more-than-ample seating, large windows that let the sunshine in and for watching passersby as they walk or drive about. Great menu of items, although we only had coffee. The coffee was hot and bold. Yum! The staff is friendly and attentive and the service was fast. No lines to wait in for our order. Patrons spread out throughout the establishment, bc they can!“

“I been In Parker for over 45 years and let me tell you I had pizza all over Parker Co the best tasting is Tonti's Family run one of the son's is running it and He is good at what he do's . So go have the New York Pizza best ever.“

“Exceptional service and food! I loved all of the options on the grab and go. We tried the macaroni and seafood salad. It was delicious! I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the wack chicken at first. It was a great combination of flavors. My husband tried the classic italian. Will both be back forsure.“

“We had a fabulous anniversary dinner at Gabriel's last night. The succulent lamb was the highlight of our 3-course dinner in The Old House, and it was cooked to perfection. Another plus was our server Vera, who was so knowledgeable and pleasant. She helped make this such a special evening!“

“We dinned at the restaurant, it was Easter Holiday. The family style meal was the best value, and we got to try three entrees , two appetizers, salads and dessert sampler. We have eaten here before, but felt the food and value exceeded our expectations!“

“When my girlfriend lost her job and needed a pick-me-up, they delivered. We got the gluten free pizza (fire btw), but wasn't able to add pineapple on our fav menu option (The five boroughs). In the comments we explain the situation and asked for pineapple and they were able to provide it ♥️ also with a lil message. Thank you guys, really made her night.“

“Good pizza and wings. The pizza dough says alot about the pizza, theirs is freshly made, soft, perfectly flavored and is balanced out well with the toppings and the sauce. The wings are really good, not fat, but cooked to a nice crunch and tossed in a good Buffalo sauce. Would recommend coming for lunch as $10 for their lunch special is worth it.“

“THE BEST! It's been a few years since we've been to Via Baci, and it was better than I had remembered! We had a wonderful meal and our server (blonde, male bartender) was excellent!! Couldn't have had a better experience. Will be back again!“

“Order the Uncle Sam pizza. Pizza was one the bartender said was popular. It came out hot and crispy. Pizza was thin and had a good amount of toppings. Sauce was sweet. Undercarriage was a little crispy. Crust was thin but wasn't cardboard. Pizza was overall good. Service was great and friendly. The restaurant was downstairs and had an industrial feel with a 1/2 brick wall that looked really cool.Crust - 4/10 (not my fav style)Sauce -6/10Undercarriage - 6.4/10Pizza overall - 6.8/10Would definitely recommend it to anyone in this area.“

“Carmine's is a treasure. This was out first time there on a recommendation from good friend. She said the tiramisu is supposed good and was she right. We also had the baked lasagna that was delicious. We'll be back for sure. Thanks Carmine's!“

“First time coming here. Nicole was outstanding at recommending and top notch service. Loved her. We had the Gorgonzola and pear pockets….delicious. Bread and dip delicious too. Caesar salad loved the presentation. Main entree my husband got lobster ravoli amazing. I had blackened shrimp and Salmon over the top. Atmosphere was perfect and watched as the entire staff was hustling to make sure their customers were happy. They all worked as a team and helped each other. Loved the vibe. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Stopped in for the first time last night and our expectations were exceeded in every way possible. The atmosphere reminds me of a quaint Italian kitchen. The food and service were both exceptional! My husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our date night there and have now found one of our new favorite places to dine.The place is small but in my opinion that only adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. Already looking forward to our next visit!!“

“If you’re in the mood for some delicious delicious italian food at an amazingly low price! This is the spot. I know it’s going to be my husband and I’s new spot. We had an adult beverage, split a large salad, had a plate of stuffed shells each and split a giant cookie with vanilla ice cream all for $61! You dont find that anymore. Great atmosphere to just chill with your spouse or friends. Definitely going back, I am so full for now though. Thanks lil Riccis!! ??“
